Shiny New Toys at Searchme!

A quick note:

Searchme launches cool new Video and Flickr search tools. This is combined with the power of stacks. Stacks are a neat way to organize relevant results, be it videos, images or Webpages, into bundles. (how often have you wondered -- "if only I could recall that search term that gave me the right answer". Well now just stack it!) Searchme provides a feature that allows users to share stacks they have created on your blog or as a Facebook page. This is really neat. Whats even better is that since the stack is AJAX based, it is dynamically updated whenever new results are added to it. Check out the stack titled "Colbert" I created as an example. The best part of visual search is that you can quickly scan for documents and media and identify the stuff you are most interested in.

Another really neat feature in Searchme is its Classification engine. For example, did you know that another celebrity that shares a similar name is Claudette Colbert, a 1930's actress! Would never have found this trivia had it not been for the movies section that Searchme identified for my query "colbert"!
